Brief Description
The Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)
technique measures whole velocity fields by taking two images shortly
after each other and calculating the distance individual particles
traveled within this time. From the known time difference and the
measured displacement the velocity is calculated. UWAL facility has
LaVision PIV system, with a dual frame CCD camera and a 50 mJ Nd-YAG
laser system. To estimate the flow velocity field from the images
LaVision software is used.
List of Experiments
1) Near wake study
2) Airfoil flutter control
3) Flow field measurements in tow
tank
4) Growth rate of swirling jet
using flow visualization
